What has Jersey Shore done to fashion?

Remember when you would put on a pair of sneakers and feel as if you were 'money'? New kicks, fresh colors, cool style and something you were proud of finding. The hunt, the statement, the story, all parts of what made your look so important and made us feel good. Well, along come those guys on the Jersey Shore...I have watched the show just to see what it's all about and have to say, I am saddened at the effect ignorant people have on our culture. Talk about killing all styles in one fell swoop. Let's look at a typical outfit for any of these tools...tight, over-logo'd tee-shirt, True-Religion jeans and a pair of white/white Nike's. Now the style...spiked, greasy hair, fake tan, tattoos all yoked out with an ego and attitude that they are the shit! Seriously?!? Is this a good look? Are you willing to be 'classed' with these buffoons and act like an idiot? The worst part pertinent to what we do is 'they' have killed the simplicity of denim and a pair of sneakers. I used to be stoked on a comfortable, casual look but now I have personally shelfed those kicks and stay far away from the MTV BS which is all about ratings. Now these misfits are going to Italy to represent the USA and bring their 'look' to a foreign market. This is how WE are perceived and we wonder why we get a bad name. Drop the faux-style, have some individuality and let's get back to rocking some kicks that make us feel 'good' again.
